Authentic Brands Group, a global brand and entertainment platform, today announced the acquisition of a majority stake in the intellectual property of OVO, the premium lifestyle brand co-founded by Drake.

OVO joins a portfolio of global sports, fashion, entertainment and lifestyle properties, strengthening Authentic's position as a platform built to accelerate both heritage brands and the next generation of creator-led brands. “We’re just a couple kids from Toronto who started something we believed in. Here we are 20 years later, same kids with bigger dreams. Authentic and VNCE are the perfect partners to help us continue to grow,” said Drake. "OVO has earned a place among the world's most influential lifestyle brands because it has always stood for something authentic and unmistakable," said Jamie Salter, Founder and Executive Chairman of Authentic.

Today we are launching Kaito Studio beta. Starting today,... we’re moving to a new model where brands and creators can more intentionally match based on mutual fit, selection, and expectations - launching with 16 partners, with more in the pipeline as details are finalized. Since launching our waitlist in February, a rapidly growing network of creators has joined Kaito Studio, representing 80 million collective followers and $14 billion in follower net worth. These creators span 118 countries, with English-focused creators making up the largest segment, and China and Korea representing the largest country cohorts. Around 30% have also joined with TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube accounts, positioning them to bring content cross-platform. From here, Kaito Studio will focus on solving three main problems, one step at a time: - Ambassador and creator matching - helping brands find the right ambassadors or creators based on data, audience, and subject alignment - Performance attribution - measuring real impact across influence, mindshare, and conversion - End-to-end orchestration - powering a repeatable workflow from creator matching and campaign execution to measurement, evaluation, and optimization We will ramp up opportunities over the coming weeks as more brands finalize their profiles and program details. As we continue building more features for the GenAI and agentic ecosystem, stay tuned for more opportunities ahead.show more

Growing Sl8 Means Growing Its Community Our work on... expanding Sl8 never stops. One of the key priorities for Cassator is continuously bringing new users and new creators into the ecosystem - not through isolated campaigns, but by building long-term relationships with influencers, communities, and partners across different markets. Today, Sl8 is already supported by a growing number of influencers from different countries and across multiple social platforms. This gives us a strong foundation to keep expanding our reach, strengthening awareness around the platform, and introducing Sl8 to new audiences. One of the markets currently in active development is the GCC region, where we are now significantly scaling our presence. We are preparing a large-scale creator campaign focused on bringing new audiences into Sl8, and 48 influencers have already agreed to work with us as part of this expansion. At the same time, negotiations continue with a much broader pool of creators across the region. Our approach is to enter each new market through relevant local creators and communities, building awareness around Sl8 and converting that attention into a growing, engaged user base. The expansion process continues to gain momentum, with new creators, partnerships, and markets joining the Sl8 ecosystem step by step.show more

The rebrand of our badge has been approached with... great sensitivity and a real understanding of what makes Clevedon, Clevedon. We recognise that a football club is built on far more than results on a pitch; it is built on history, identity, memories and the people who have shaped it over generations. Our previous crest has represented decades of achievements, players, volunteers and supporters who have all played a part in creating the club we know today. While creating a modern identity for the future, it was important that the soul of the club remained untouched. The inclusion of the historic Clevedon Pier within the new design reflects one of the town’s most recognisable landmarks and symbolises strength, heritage and our connection to the community, which remains at the heart of everything we do. This rebrand also represents the coming together of the identities of Clevedon Town and North Somerset RTC, aligning both under one clear vision and creating a stronger pathway and united future. Supporters will also begin to see wider changes, from exciting investment into the team and developments around the stadium, to bold new kit designs that reflect the ambition and energy of this new era. We are beginning an exciting journey together and the crest is only the start. #CTFC #ClevedonTownFC South West Sports Newsshow more

For a long time, small brands ran forgettable ads... for one boring reason, and it had nothing to do with taste. Good creative was just expensive. You needed a designer, or an agency, or at minimum a friend who owed you a favour. You needed a brief, a few rounds of edits, a week of back and forth, and a few hundred dollars you weren't sure you'd make back. So most small brands did the sensible thing and made nothing. A logo on a coloured background, maybe. Then straight back to work. That math is quietly breaking, and I don't think most people have noticed yet. Goose the Growth Guy does something that sounds small and isn't. You paste a brand's website and get finished ad creatives back. These are built from templates that already performed for real brands, rebuilt around whatever brand you point it at. Your colours, your product, your words. It runs in the browser, and there's no designer anywhere in the loop. The cost of producing something that genuinely looks like a real ad has dropped close to zero. If you have a product and want ads that actually work, try Goose now. If you signup from the link below, you’ll get 1000 credits for free.show more

A great day at LEAP East 2026 at HKCEC... building and connecting. Spent time at the Animoca Brands booth discussing Minds by Animoca Brands and the next wave of persistent AI agents. Think persistent AI agents with memory, identity, and on-chain wallets, that's what it was! For us at Rice Robotics, that's an exciting direction. As robots become more autonomous, they'll need persistent digital identities, long-term memory, and the ability to interact with both people and decentralized networks. Oh... and we had an insightful and in-depth discussion with someone pretty special and big 👀 More on that soon🤫show more

The Sabotaging Practice of Over Supply and Sameness in... the NFT Space. The current zeitgeist of the NFT space is that the same artists are doing the same kind of work five times a year, with project after project leaving a trail of disappointment and discontent among collectors and all of us watching in disbelief as huge resources are extracted from the space over work that feels like it could be left as an "artist study." I understand that you can do what you want with your money as collectors, but we are killing the whole space with this incestuous practice. No artist is that prolific to be able to do 5 collections of 100+ pieces each every year and actually deliver innovation and some kind of creative evolution. Of course, they can pretend play that the work has something new, but there is no precedent nor proof that that has ever happened in the speed that it happens in the NFT space. Again, people are free to through away their resources on whatever they want but with this way of doing things, we more and more are going to start seeing the consequences. Oh! There are consequences? Yes. Maybe unintended, but there are. Let's see. Let's start with the loss of belief in the NFT space as somewhere where emerging artists can come and find support for their experiments. Why even bother to bring experiments, innovation, and new ways to think of art on the blockchain if the same people have all the collectors hypnotized with their magical flutes? Why even try to come to a space where taking risks and challenging the status quo (the mission of art!!!) is overlooked? This makes the NFT space a social club and not a space for art. I guess it is fine, but IMO it is a recipe for disaster. New collectors stay away because the art will slowly but surely become stale and un-challenging. Why even bother to come and see what is happening here if you can't, as a collector, see new weird and up-and-coming artists? The amount of noise emitted by the same artists doing the same art over and over, drowns out any new voices. Again. A recipe for disaster. The NFT space is becoming a space of disappointment and doubt. We think that collections going to zero one after the other, over and over, is not damaging? I feel we are kidding ourselves. Disappointment piles up, and again, the people who will hurt are the emerging artists, the new blood, the ones who are willing to risk the most and, in return, put fire in this cold space of sameness. I love this space—don't get me wrong—it has changed my life, and I believe it has a ton of potential, but things need to change for it to become a beacon of light in art. But we need to support new voices. We need to support new ideas. The challenge is huge. I hope to contribute all I can to this change. I hope more and more see how exciting it is to go out and try to discover what else is out there and move this space forward. But again, I understand the leaps of faith needed, but if there is a space that is based on that, it's the NFT space...so there is hope. We will see. 📺by Boldtronshow more

We have grit and now we officially have GRIID.... 🤝 Today $CLSK announced the completed acquisition of GRIID Infrastructure Inc. (Nasdaq: GRDI)(“GRIID”) on October 30, 2024, following approval of the transaction by stockholders of GRIID at the special meeting of its stockholders on October 28, 2024. “I’m pleased to announce the completion of our acquisition of GRIID Infrastructure Inc., a strategic move that allows us to grow our Bitcoin mining capacity in the state of Tennessee, which we intend to build to over 400 MW in the coming years,” said CleanSpark CEO Zach Bradford. “Moreover, this adds significant geographic and power supply diversity through expansion in the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) service territory, providing us with additional operational flexibility.” “We look forward to smoothly integrating GRIID’s team into ‘The CleanSpark Way,’ merging their impressive workforce with our own. We’ve gotten to know GRIID’s employees well in the past three months as we have prepared for the merge and they have hosted 50 MW of mining capacity for us. The fit couldn’t be better, and we are collectively ready to hit the ground running with GRIID’s existing capacity, new development in TVA, and additional talent supporting our previously acquired sites in the state,” said Bradford. “I’m proud to welcome CleanSpark to Tennessee,” said U.S. Senator Bill Hagerty. The Volunteer State is a great place to grow a business and has rapidly developed into one of the centers of America’s Bitcoin industry. We boast a globally competitive workforce, a superior quality of life, and thanks to TVA, reliable and affordable power. We are excited to see CleanSpark grow and invest in Tennessee.” “The closing of the merger is a great outcome for GRIID’s shareholders and employees,” said GRIID's former CEO Trey Kelly. “It’s great to start the next chapter, and merging with CleanSpark is a tribute to the business we’ve built with some of the best Bitcoin mining professionals in the world. CleanSpark has already begun demonstrating their ability to accelerate and maximize the value of GRIID’s power pipeline, and I see tremendous upside for the combined company in the years to come.” Under the terms of the merger agreement originally announced on June 27, 2024, each share of GRIID common stock was converted into approximately 0.06959 of a share of CleanSpark common stock at the effective time of the merger. In connection with the closing of the transaction, GRIID has requested that Nasdaq suspend trading of the GRIID common stock and GRIID public warrants on Nasdaq prior to the opening of trading on October 31, 2024. The shares of GRIID common stock are expected to be delisted from Cboe Canada at the end of the day on October 31, 2024. Full press release here:show more
